Roglic rode a rather small gear on the final climb, but pedaled it very fast. That sprint against Rohan Dennis was a perfect preparation.

No, but usually I dont think theres so much selection on the previous climbs as this year, but I may be mistaken. Fall racing is not my speciale.Did Roglic do much work before the final climb though?
Both selection and climbing speed depend on circumstances. Tailwind on the climb would explain both. Even the guys who didn't win have some very fast times compared to other years, even despite a more selective race.No, but usually I dont think theres so much selection on the previous climbs as this year, but I may be mistaken.

His thread used to be titled Primoz Roglic is the new Landa thread.
From the post race interview it sounds like Roglic is running on fumes. Will be interesting to see if his form holdsLanda looks weak compared to Primoz. Primoz is better than Rominger too. He's just getting started .
Well I meant just getting started with his cabinet of trophies, not that he'd get any more this year. Il Lombardia will most likely be to long and hard for his dwindling form this year. But his Future is Very Bright!From the post race interview it sounds like Roglic is running on fumes. Will be interesting to see if his form holds
Hard to say his form is dwinding when this was the most impressive Emilia win in ages.Well I meant just getting started with his cabinet of trophies, not that he'd get any more this year.
